Security Updates of August 12th - Solution Center Error Message

Hello:
I am running XP with Service Pack 3 and IE 8.
On 8/12 I downloaded and installed (13) mostly Security Updates to my PC.
After the installation I restarted my system as prompted. Since this action
I am receiving the the following error message" Windows Installer" "Solution
Center
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD ROM or other removable disk
that is not available. Insert the Solution disk and" Click OK"
Of course I do not have a disk! This problem was not occurring before the
latest updates.
Any suggestions on which of the 13 downloads is causing the problem.

Thanks

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

At a guess, could it be an Office update that is causing the problem?
Yous tate you do not have a CD for Windows but perhaps you have a CD for
Office. You could try a repair install of Office or just put the office CD
in the installation drive.
